    sched: Change nr_uninterruptible type to unsigned long

    The commit e6fe3f4 ("sched: Make multiple runqueue task counters
    32-bit") changed nr_uninterruptible to an unsigned int. But the
    nr_uninterruptible values for each of the CPU runqueues can grow to
    large numbers, sometimes exceeding INT_MAX. This is valid, if, over
    time, a large number of tasks are migrated off of one CPU after going
    into an uninterruptible state. Only the sum of all nr_interruptible
    values across all CPUs yields the correct result, as explained in a
    comment in kernel/sched/loadavg.c.

    Change the type of nr_uninterruptible back to unsigned long to prevent
    overflows, and thus the miscalculation of load average.

    Fixes: e6fe3f4 ("sched: Make multiple runqueue task counters 32-bit")
